System and method for improving touch screen display use under vibration and turbulence

A method of improving touch screen display use during vibration and turbulence conditions comprising:

• landing at least one digit of at least one hand of a user on a bezel at least partially surrounding a touch screen input and display device, the bezel comprising at least one of a vibration, shock, and turbulence sensor;
• engaging a touch activated area of the touch screen input and display device with at least one other finger of the at least one hand, thereby generating a touch input;
• determining an anchor point represented by a number and placement of the at least one digit on the bezel;
• determining a magnitude and direction of motion of the at least one digit and the anchor point relative to the bezel based on the output of the at least one of a vibration, shock, and turbulence sensor, wherein the motion is due to turbulence;
• and
• adjusting the touch input in a direction opposite the anchor point movement based on the determined magnitude and direction.

A touch screen input and display system comprising:

• a touch screen comprising a planar input and viewing surface having a plurality of edges;
• a bezel at least partially surrounding said surface proximate at least some of said plurality of edges, said bezel comprising a surface configured to engage one or more fingers of one or more hands of a user, said surface formed of an elastomeric material, said bezel comprising at least one of a vibration, shock, and turbulence sensor configured to:
• determine an anchor point represented by a number and a placement of the one or more fingers of the one or more hands of the user on said surface of said bezel, and
• generate an output signal representing a magnitude and direction of motion between said touch screen and the user resulting from at least one of vibration, shock, and turbulence;
• and
• an input unit configured to:
• relocate or resize a touch activated area of the touch screen based on the output signal to compensate for the motion of the finger of the user and the anchor point due to turbulence conditions, wherein the anchor point movement represents a change in the anchor point on the surface of the bezel as detected by at least one of the vibration, the shock, and the turbulence sensor.
